Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: video-i2c: use vb2_video_unregister_device on driver removal The driver uses vb2_fop_release() as its file release operation, so vb2_video_unregister_device() should be used instead of video_unregister_device() during driver removal. This ensures that the vb2 queue is properly disconnected before the video device is unregistered.
